Our services are intended for girls (cis or trans) or young trans people (regardless of their gender identity/nongender) in the age of 10 to 25 years. But those of you who are older or younger are welcome to get in touch with us too.
You can talk about anything whatsoever. Perhaps you are happy, sad, angry or puzzled? Or you have perhaps experienced something negative? Nothing is too big or too small. We are able to provide support in Swedish and English.
We who work at the hotline are girls (cis or trans) and young trans people, and we are here to listen to you and take you seriously. First of all, because we want to and because we know it can feel good to talk to someone sometimes. You can chat with us, email us or book a personal meeting. You can remain anonymous if you want, and everything you say to us will remain between us.
You can read more about what cis and trans mean further down this page.
Wherever you live in Sweden, you can talk to us completely anonymously by chatting with us or emailing us. You can also book a personal meeting or ask us to appoint you a support person. Everyone at the hotline is under a duty of confidentiality.
The chat is open on
Tuesday, 18-20
Thursday, 19-21
Sunday, 19-21

A cis person is, in very simplified terms, a person who is not a trans person. Quite simply, a person whose body, legal sex and gender identity are connected according to the norm. A cis girl is a girl who was born with a fanny, was registered as “woman” in the population register, and who considers herself a girl. A cis boy is a boy who was born with a willy, was registered as “man” in the population register, and who considers himself a boy.
For us, a trans person is a concept that encompasses a number of different identities — binary and nonbinary gender identities as well as persons who do not identify themselves according to gender. What trans people have in common is that their gender identity or gender expression do not correspond to the legal sex they were assigned at birth. For example, a person could be born with a fanny and therefore is assigned the legal sex of female at birth, but identifies as a boy. This is a trans guy. A trans person can also be someone who was born with a willy and was assigned the legal sex of male at birth, but who identifies as a girl. This is a trans girl.
Trans girls and trans guys are what are commonly referred to as binary gender identities. There are also people who identify neither as a girl nor a boy or as both; such people are referred to as being nonbinary. There are a number of different identities within the concept of nonbinary, for example, bigender or genderqueer. Some people do not want to define themselves from the gender point on view at all, and are therefore nongender. You determine your gender identity; no one else can decide for you whether you are trans or not.
